This book is a richly illustrated field guide that surveys the geology, environmental history, natural history, and human history of a region that spans the eastern seaboard from Sandy Hook in New Jersey south to Cape Hatteras on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It is organized around environments, not particular locations. Included are the geology of beaches and barrier islands, the environmental history of the region, as well as detailed looks at the natural history of beaches, dunes, maritime forests, coastal marshes, and estuaries. Also covered are issues involving human activity and climate change, which have become dominant forces shaping geophysical and biological environments. This guide will enable users to walk into a salt marsh or onto a beach and identify much of what they see. 606 $aCoastal plants$zAtlantic Coast (Middle Atlantic States)$vIdentification 606 $aCoastal ecology$zAtlantic Coast (Middle Atlantic States)$vGuidebooks 606 $aCoastal animals$zAtlantic Coast (Middle Atlantic States)$vIdentification 607 $aAtlantic Coast (Middle Atlantic States)$vGuidebooks 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCoastal plants 615 0$aCoastal ecology 615 0$aCoastal animals 676 $a508.75 700 $aLynch$b Patrick J.$0627159 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910587580903321 996 $aA field guide to the Mid-Atlantic coast$92907625 997 $aUNINA
